Thank you for the feedback. You are right that it's a rough idea at the moment; I wanted to get some thoughts on it before investing too much time and energy into it. A little bit more effort wouldn't hurt though.
My intention was to keep it reasonably close so you'd start at one spot and then would be directed to more generic spots in the areas like "a coffee shop". However, I see your point about going out of their way to participate which would definitely kill the game especially in locales where getting to the place is difficult (parking, mass transit, etc...).
To make the game successful, it needs a good, engaging story. I think that answers to your final two questions are answered by "the story" which I recognize is a pretty big assumption but not insurmountable.
